Have you ever wondered how Apps on your mobile devices are made? Or had a great idea for an App but had no idea where to start? Maybe you were in a meeting and thought about how boring the content was and wished there was a way to make it interactive. That is where I come in. As in Interaction Experience Designer I help you turn your idea into a workable prototype to test, design and implement with developers.
For any project we always start with researching your target market, creating user personas and surveying individuals on there needs around the topic. These surveys can be target market users as well as subject matter experts to get a wide range data points for your project.
Any Interactive Design requires prototypes to mockup the design as well as plan out the steps a user will take to get from point A to B. We begin by laying out the main workflows and add on as we work. Often times inspiration abounds in this stage because we being to see what is possible and what solutions we can solve for the end user.
We use qualitative data from one on one interviews and user testing to look at the specifics of the user journey. This data helps to inform design decisions and way to outline the best possible user experience.
Once initial prototypes are mapped out we do additional testing with end users to see how they work with the prototypes. Our goal is to have users move through interactive tasks with little difficulty.
If users are stuck in specific areas or seem to gravitate to a different workflow we make design adjustments to make the task as intuitive as possible. Depending on the amount of tasks an App or Interactive design may have will depend on how many iterations of testing a project may need. The design process takes into account all usability testing feedback and implements new user interface elements, text, typeface, colors and all interactive elements. So that information is organized in a way that enhances user navigation and interaction for clear pathways to achieve tasks or goals.
This is for anyone who has ever had an idea or a problem they wanted to solve with a interactive workspace. Applications on your phone, tablets, computers and headsets are all created to solve a problem someone believed in. App development takes those ideas and brings them to life with interaction and design.
App creation is a passion project for anyone involved. And there are often many stages that you bring a designer in to work on Apps and Interaction projects. These are the most common:
